Description
If your fretting hand craves speed and low tension, the Ernie Ball Extra Slinky (2835) set is your ticket. This single pack of round-wound nickel bass strings trades stiffness for playability without sacrificing the punch that makes a bass cut through a mix.
- Gauges: .040 .060 .070 .095
- Nickel-plated steel, round-wound construction
- Made in Coachella Valley, Southern California
Round winding keeps the tone bright and articulate string to string, so slap lines snap and finger-picked grooves stay clear instead of muddy. The extra-light tension makes these a favorite for players who like to bend, tap, or just save their hands during long sets — and because they’re thinner, they respond fast when you’re chasing that snappy, fresh-string zing.
Strings don’t stay lively forever. Nickel wounds like these start to lose their edge as grime and sweat settle into the windings, dulling the highs and flattening your low end. Keep a pack or two of Extra Slinkys on hand at StringRush so you’re never stuck gigging or recording on a dead set — swap them out and get that punch back instantly.
Whether you’re restringing a P-Bass, J-Bass, or any long-scale bass that likes a lighter touch, this pack gives you the classic Ernie Ball nickel growl in an easy-bending gauge set.
